To receive any kind of monetary award, your account must have a completed and valid tax form, an approved identity verification, and a selected payment method. Tax forms must be renewed every three years, and you should update yours if any information changes.
Important: To protect your account’s security, impact, and reputation, the tax form holder cannot be changed once submitted. The name on your tax form and your identity verification must match the original submission. You may not transfer ownership of your profile or send reward payments to a third party.
To complete your tax form:

HackerOne aims to review and approve each newly submitted tax form within 72 business hours. However, certain scenarios may necessitate additional time for review. These scenarios include, but are not limited to, instances when identity details are incomplete or when identity details are discrepant from previously submitted tax forms. If this occurs, a member of HackerOne’s team may reach out to you to request additional details or request your tax form to be updated with more information.
